Moyse provides the perfect study book for beginner to advanced flautists. With directions in French, English, German and Japanese, 100 Easy and Progressive Studies for the Flute cannot be missed. French flautist, Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) studied with virtuosos Philippe Gaubet, Adolphe Hennebains and Paul Taffanel at the Paris Conservatoire. Moyse went on to become principal flute of various orchestras and also became known for his trademark tone; a clear, flexible and penetrating tone, controlled by a fast vibrato. As well as performing, Moyse taught the flute and published a substantial number of study books for the instrument. 100 Easy and Progressive Studies, based on studies by Crammer, focuses on elements including phrasing, tempo, breath control, articulation, fingering and evenness, amongst other aspects. Being a prominent flute player himself, Moyse's 100 Easy and Progressive Studies is well-informed and essential to aspiring flautists.
